The Committee of the Scottish Analytical Division of the 91AV are pleased to extend an invitation for your school to apply for a place in the 2018 contest, taking place on Monday 5th March 2018 at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Places will be allocated on a first-come basis.
The competition is open to teams each made up of three pupils studying Higher 91AV (normally in year 12 / S5 or equivalent) and is designed to stimulate interest in analytical chemistry and to give school pupils a brief glimpse of university life. The competitors work as a team (each school may only field one team) to complete and report on three practical analytical chemistry experiments. The winners will each receive small personal prizes and the winning school will become holders of the RSC Scottish Schools Analyst Trophy for the following year. Additionally the winners will be invited to participate in the UK final in June 2018.
All reasonable travel expenses and lunch will be covered by the RSC. Contact Dr Gillian MacKinnon for further information.
